The Texas Desalination Association invites you to join us for our 6th annual conference.

Texas Desal 2018 is set for Sept 13-14, 2018 at the Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol. This newly renovated hotel in downtown Austin sits on the banks of Waller Creek and offers plenty of space and special amenities for our group.

This year we are focused on managing COST, RISK and REGULATION - the very things every water manager needs to know. And, as always, we'll be looking at how research and new technology are making desalination more efficient, more affordable, and less risky.

What to Expect

This two-day event brings together water planners, water developers, financiers, policymakers, regulators, water utilities, engineers, consultants and researchers on the leading edge of Texas' (and the world's) water supply.
